What is Ultimate Frisbee? |
Ultimate Frisbee
Ultimate is an exciting, non-contact team sport, played by thousands over the world. It mixes the best features of sports such as Soccer, Basketball, and Football. Ultimate is the only International Olympic Committee recognized sport to be self-officiating and promote Spirit Of The Game.
Spirit of the Game
Spirit of the Game is one of the core elements in Ultimate Frisbee. It is similar to fair play and sportsmanship.
“All players are responsible for administering and adhering to the rules. Ultimate relies upon a Spirit of the Game that places the responsibility for fair play on every player. It is trusted that no player will intentionally break the rules; thus there are no harsh penalties for breaches, but rather a method for resuming play in a manner which simulates what would most likely have occurred had there been no breach. Highly competitive play is encouraged, but should never sacrifice the mutual respect between players, adherence to the agreed-upon rules of the game, or the basic joy of play.”
